Source-Restricted Re-Prompting as a Correction Technique

Apply fact-checking and validation techniques

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Source-restricted re-prompting fixes a needs-revision output by re-running the request with an explicit instruction to answer only from the supplied source material, rather than rewriting the output by hand. It targets grounding failures specifically, does not by itself satisfy a stakes-driven human-review requirement, and requires re-verifying the corrected output against the same three references afterward.
